From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

more recently, tiling.

The author seems to have a different definition of "recently" than I do (have been using tiling window managers for over 2 decades now).

If a window wants to be maximized, instead of fitting in a tile, it will move to its own workspace.

So pretty much "out of the users view", which seems to be one of the main things they're complaining about.

Overall just reads like a shitty mash of tiling and non tiling concepts, which you already can get better on a modern dynamic tiling window manager.
